A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a maroon border, wearing a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck, with a red bindi and white vertical marks on his forehead. His eyes are closed and his hands are clasped in his lap. He sits before an ornate gold-leaf throne with floral and scrolled carvings, and two partially visible heads of devotees appear in the foreground. The man's long dark hair falls to his shoulders and he appears to be in meditation during a satsang setting. Appearance-based cues including swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas are consistent with a Swamiji (probable) candidate seated in person.
